In Eclipse Openj9 before version 0.32.0, Java 8 & 11 fail to throw the exception captured during bytecode verification when verification is triggered by a MethodHandle invocation, allowing unverified methods to be invoked using MethodHandles.

Weakness

The product does not check the return value from a method or function, which can prevent it from detecting unexpected states and conditions.
